About Caller Identification  
Telephone operating range  
Caller ID with CallWaiting features in  
this telephone lets you see who’s call-  
ing before you answer the phone, even  
when you’re on another call.These  
features require services provided by  
your local telephone company.  
This cordless telephone operates with  
the maximum power allowed by the  
Federal Communications Commission  
(FCC). Even so, the handset and base  
can communicate over only a certain  
distance — which can vary with the  
locations of the base and handset, the  
weather, and the construction of your  
home or office.  
Contact your telephone service pro-  
vider if:  
You have both Caller ID and Call  
Waiting, but as separate services  
(you may need combined service).  
If you receive a call while you are  
out of range, the handset might not  
ring — or if it does ring, the call might  
not connect when you press PHONE.  
Move closer to the base, then press  
PHONE to answer the call.  
You have only Caller ID service, or  
only CallWaiting service.  
You don’t subscribe to any Caller  
ID or CallWaiting services.  
If you move out of range during  
a phone conversation, you might  
hear noise or interference.To improve  
reception, move closer to the base.  
You can use this phone with regular  
Caller ID service, and you can use its  
other features without subscribing to  
either Caller ID or combined Caller ID  
with CallWaiting service.There may be  
fees for these services, and they may  
not be available in all areas.  
If you move out of range without  
pressing OFF, your phone will be left  
off the hook.To hang up properly, walk  
back towards the telephone base, peri-  
odically pressing OFF until the call is  
disconnected.  
Caller ID features will work only if  
both you and the caller are in areas  
offering Caller ID service, and if both  
telephone companies use compatible  
equipment.  
See Caller ID Operation, beginning on  
page 27, for more details about how  
these features work.

About names  
Names of callers will be displayed only if this information is  
provided by your local telephone company.  
If the telephone number of the person calling exactly matches  
a number in your directory, the name that appears on the

tory.  
(Example: If Christine Smith calls, her name will appear as  
Chris if this is how you entered it into your directory.)  
NOTE: The phone company usually delivers ten-digit phone numbers,  
so if you have to dial a 1 first, or if you only dial seven digits, the name will  
appear as delivered by the phone company.

Unplug the unit's electrical power. Wait for approximately 1ꢁ sec-  
onds, then plug it back in. Allow up to one minute for the cordless  
handset and base to synchronize.  
Remove and re-insert the battery. If that still does not work, it may  
be necessary to purchase a new battery pack.  
Disconnect the telephone base from the modular jack and plug in  
a working telephone. If this telephone does not work, the problem  
is probably in the wiring or the local service. Call the local tele-  
phone company.  
Place the handset in the base or charger for recharging.

Suggestion  
Make sure the ringer is on. (See page 1ꢃ for handset and page 1ꢄ for  
telephone base).  
The telephone  
does not ring  
when there is  
an incoming call  
Make sure the telephone line cord and power adapter are plugged in  
properly (see page ꢂ).  
The cordless handset may be too far from the telephone base. Move  
it closer to the telephone base.  
There may be too many extension phones on the telephone line to  
allow all of them to ring simultaneously. Try unplugging some of them.  
Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless  
telephone. Try installing your telephone as far away as possible from  
the following electronic devices: wireless routers, radios, radio tow-  
ers, pager towers, cellular telephones, digital telephones, intercoms,  
room monitors, televisions, VCRs, personal computers, kitchen appli-  
ances, and other cordless telephones.  
Test a working telephone at the telephone jack. If another telephone  
has the same problem, the problem is in the telephone jack, the  
wiring, or the local service. Contact your local telephone company  
(charges may apply).  
The telephone line cord might be malfunctioning. Try installing a new  
telephone line cord.  
Re-install the battery and place the cordless handset in the telephone  
base.  
Wait for the cordless handset to synchronize with the telephone base.  
To be safe, allow up to one minute for this to take place.  
Make sure there is a dial tone before dialing. It is normal if the cord-  
less handset takes a second or two to synchronize with the telephone  
base before producing a dial tone. Wait an extra second before dial-  
ing.  
I cannot dial out  
Make sure the telephone is set to the correct dial mode (pulse dial  
or tone dial) for the service in your area. Refer to the Telephone  
Operation section of this user's manual (page 18 for the handset and  
page 21 for the telephone base) to set the dial mode.  
If the other telephones in your home are having the same problem,  
the problem is in the telephone jack, wiring or local service. Contact  
the local telephone company (charges may apply).  
Eliminate any background noise. Noise from a television, radio, or  
other appliances may cause the telephone to not dial out properly.  
If you cannot eliminate the background noise, first try muting the  
cordless handset before dialing, or dialing from another room in your  
home with less background noise.

Microwave ovens operate on the same frequency as your telephone.  
It is normal to experience static on your telephone while the micro-  
wave oven is operating. Do not install this telephone in the same  
outlet or near a microwave oven.  
If your telephone is plugged in with a modem or a surge protector,  
plug the telephone (or modem/surge protector) into a different loca-  
tion. If this solves the problem, re-locate your telephone or modem  
farther apart from each other, or use a different surge protector.  
The layout of your home or office might be limiting the operating  
range. Trying moving the base to another location, preferably a higher  
location for better reception.  
Disconnect the telephone base from the modular jack and plug in a  
corded telephone. If calls are still not clear, the problem is probably  
in the wiring or local service. Contact the local telephone company  
(charges may apply).  
Select channels ꢀ through 10 for your router (refer to the user's man-  
ual of your router for more information).  
If the other telephones in your home are having the same problem,
